Rare Antique 1870's Victor Treadle Sewing Machine With Cast Iron Table Base, Nice

  
Rare Antique 1870's Victor Treadle Sewing Machine W/ Cast Iron Table Base, Nice! Rare 1870's Antique Victor Sewing Company from Middletown, Connecticut Which was Finkle & Lyon Manufacturing Company until 1872. This scarce (to see complete) Sewing Machine is in very nice condition (actually pretty amazing considering it close to 150 years old). The machine has been mostly restored rather recently. The base is very sturdy and substantial. The base also has a very unique look and is in good condition and does not appear to have ever been repaired. The Treadle part where one puts their foot has the word "Victor" Stamped on it adding a very nice touch. The wood cover has been refinished as well as the top.

The wood cover has some decorative pieces missing, missing on the front corner. The person who refinished the cover left the remaining decorative pieces on the cover so it looks natural. The wood cover has had some reinforcements added to the inside thus, they have effect on the appearance.

When I got the machine the treadle belt was in place and the machine "worked" well. (By work I mean the treadle worked great and the needle went up and down with ease). The belt broke shortly after I got it so one will need a new belt. If one turns the pulley where the belt was the machine moves very freely and one can tell/see that it has been oiled recently and well taken care of.

I do not see any obvious defects. I did notice the thread winder that is powered by the same pulley that the belt turns is missing the small rubber part that engaged the pulley to spin the winder. Other than that its a pretty amazing machine from the 1870's that has a great look and in is very good condition. The Victor Treadle Machine dimensions (approx) 37" Tall 30" Wide 17" Deep, The Base measures: 29" Tall x 21" Wide x 17" Deep at the bottom and 12.5 at the top. The wooden Tabletop measure: 30" Wide x 17" Deep. The Sewing Machine measures: 12" wide 7.5" Deep 8" Tall when in the base, The Complete Sewing unit when out of the base is 14" Wide x 12" Tall X 7.5" Deep.
